1 ) Buy Monkey Island SE
2 ) Download for Windows http://helicoid.de/scumm/extractpak.zip or sources http://slexy.org/view/s21wNL2X3x (thanks to jott)
3 ) Download http://helicoid.de/scumm/unxwb-mi.zip (Includes sources)
4 ) Download xWMAEncode http://www.enbclan.com/download.php?f=/ ... Encode.zip (Windows only! Try wine!)
5 ) Extract Monkey1.pak using extractpak (Now you have Secret of Monkey Island CD Version in the folder \clasic\en\. You can add this to scummvm now and play it but it has no sound)
6 ) Extract MusicOriginal.xwb in the audio folder using unxmb
7 ) Now convert xma files to wav using xWMAEncode
8 ) Convert wav files to either MP3 or flac or ogg (If you don't know how to do this search google)
9 ) Files your files in the same directory as the monkey1.001 and monkey.000
10 ) TODO: Files are in the wrong order but will play.

track7 becomes track6
track18 becomes track17
track23 becomes track22

Well That's It. Yes Instead of MusicOriginal.xwb you could extract MusicNew.xwb for the new music.

EDIT: (WINDOWS ONLY )There is a bat file that will automatically extract and convert the files for you if you have the programs in the folder. viewtopic.php?p=54790#54790

If someone knows how to modify SCUMMVM source to be compatible with the new version(the new textures and new sounds), please post the details of how to change the source, if not here then on another website. Some of us have paid for the game but run Linux or other operating systems and do not wish to attempt to run the game through Wine.

Apparently it's a 5 minute hack. I can understand that the SCUMMVM team do not want to step on LucasArts' toes but there is no reason an unofficial patch, not connected to the SCUMMVM team, could be used. I see no moral issues with it as it doesn't hurt LucasArts since the game is already released on torrent sites, it just allows people on other platforms to experience the game and could even boost sales for LucasArts.

Have you seen the sea waves, LeChucks ghostly afterglow and the lava hot air?
Well, the tech used to make that happen is called pixel shades.
Pixel shader effects require you to have a somewhat modern 3D graphics card and are outside the scope of ScummVM.
It would be very VERY hard/impossible to bring pixel shades to all the platforms that ScummVM supports.
MI1SE _may_ be supported by the Residual project at some point in the future, but Residual is very much a work-in-progress.

If there was any reference to a five-minute hack, it was probably about the Steam re-releases of the older games (The Dig, etc.), or extracting the original version (256 colour graphics, no voices) of The Secret of Monkey Island from the special edition.

I don't think anyone has said that supporting the special edition would be that easy.
